The Way He Looks

This little, quietly sensual, softly paced, beautifully photographed Brazilian film comes with a dreamy soundtrack by Scotland’s Belle & Sebastian. The film is about three high-school students. Two are young men and one is a young woman. One of the young men, the film’s main character, is blind and mildly handsome. The other young man has a warm soul and is definitely handsome. The young woman is pretty, slim, and a very close friend of the blind young man. All three are members of the middle class. All three have desires that are emerging. The final kiss in the movie is the entire meaning of this little movie (95 min.).
